Black Opium Le Parfum for women

Scent story

This is Black Opium at its most decadent — the parfum concentration turns the familiar coffee-vanilla signature into something darker and more velvety. Cinnamon and pear add a spiced-fruit shimmer up top, the white florals glow in the middle, and then the vanillas take over: bourbon, Madagascar, absolute, orchid — layer upon layer. It is sweet, warm and unapologetically glamorous. In Indian winters it is magnificent; in summer, one spray too many will overwhelm. Beginners who love sweet gourmands will be in heaven, but sample first — this is intensity, not subtlety.
